Alright I am on roll today.. first of all attached to this post is my modified global.php that works with my news. Just require it, instead of global.php (I have had no problems doing this)
this will address stripslash errors
Second I have resolved the issue with including
multiple news, and headlines on one page. The problem seems to be the script trying to do everything on one SQL connection. This is easily fixed:
Find this
PHP Code:
$connection = mysql_connect("$servername","$dbusername","$dbpassword") or die ("Cannot connect to server.");
And change it to
PHP Code:
$connection2 = mysql_connect("$servername","$dbusername","$dbpassword") or die ("Cannot connect to server.");
Now, after you do this you will have to find every instance of $connection and change it to what you set on that line. You can call it whatever.. $connectionilikecheese for example

Put any further questions here, all these things worked for me
